how can i improve database connectivity with connection pool

Hi,

I used to create a connection to DB per session since the application is pretty small. Now i want to improve the db connectrion with connection pool. However, i am still confused since the book i read says that i have to change something in server.xml in the tomcat server while other people in this forum actually implement a connection pool class. Isnt it has been built into the servlet container? if yes, how can i use it? I suppose i only have to open the connection and the connection pool will reclaim the resource when the session is terminated in the same way the gabage collector reclaim resource when no reference is associated to object, am i correct?

the documentation for Tomcat 5 DB pooling can be found at:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tom...les-howto.html

Here are the Tomcat 4 docs:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tom...les-howto.html

The administration console can be found at (under default install):

http:localhost:8080/admin

But, you have to set up a user and password in your

<tomcat-install>/conf/tomcat-users.xml file.

You need to add an "admin" role and a user that will be assigned this

role like this (obviously you won't be using "tomcat" as your password):

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<tomcat-users>

<role rolename="admin"/>

<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="admin"/>

</tomcat-users>

So, I can log in as Tomcat and have admin privs.

I read the tomcat doc and the example. I follow exactly what they say in the example but I still cant get the pool work. This is what I have done:
